Two shows have transferred to the West End that I have given, for very different reasons, very poor original notices to. Piaf and La Cage Aux Folles. Whilst they will no doubt acclaim these as triumphant transfers, it is worth noting that they are strictly limited runs – ie they would not dream of thinking they could sell this rubbish indefinitely. I should be surprised if La Cage makes a profit, or even its twelve week run.
Piaf, featuring Elena Roger is running for a strictly limited 100 performances. Everyone agrees this one is a terrible show that many people feel is saved by the Miss Roger – not all of us. If you want to see this story done well, buy the movie and see it ALL done well.
